PPN is one of the leading podcast streams in the country.

“Todd Eury is a true advocate for pharmacists,” said Frank Fortin, Senior Vice President for Communications, Marketing and Media Relations for APhA. “We’re excited to see where this partnership takes us.”
“APhA has recognized the need to deliver audio content to pharmacists that’s meaningful and helpful to their careers and supporting them as patient care providers,” said Eury. “A partnership with the APhA will help the Pharmacy Podcast Network reach more pharmacists and build new collaborations with other podcasting pharmacists. Strengthening our listener base with this key partnership will prepare the publication to build more collaborative care episodes with physicians and other healthcare providers, and the pharmacist’s voice will be leading the conversations.”
